I needed a simple Docker image to automatically download a stream that I specify when it's live, and check for it when it's not.
docker run -d \
-e UID=1000 -e GID=1000 \
-e WAIT=300 \
-e URL=<REPLACE_WITH_URL> \
-v $(pwd):/data \
ghcr.io/xelofan/yt-dlp-dockerversion: '3'
services:
yt-dlp-docker:
image: ghcr.io/xelofan/yt-dlp-docker
container_name: yt-dlp-docker
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
URL: <REPLACE_WITH_URL>
UID: 1000 #example
GID: 1000 #example
WAIT: 300 #example
volumes:
- .:/data # downloads to the directory where the docker-compose.yml file is locatedEnvironment variables
